Location
Cascade Maryland is a historic community in the Catoctin Mountains near the Pennsylvania line. Popular at the turn of the 19th Century as a summer resort for the area affluent. Approximately one hour to Baltimore and Washington, DC.

History
With a vista of 2,000 square miles across the Cumberland Valley, Pen Mar sits in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains at an elevation of 1,400 feet. It was this breathtaking view that inspired the president of the Western Maryland Railway, Col. John Mifflin Hood, to establish Pen Mar Park, which opened on August
31, 1877. The park served as a magnet for visitors, and soon magnificent hotels and boarding houses appeared, making the area one of the most popular resorts in the East. Railways brought
hundreds of thousands of tourists until the rise of the automobile, when people found their way to Pen Mar by cars and buses.
